They'd make sure that they were compatible with eachother :) Really, I
think the same thing will be adopted by both sides, but it would need
people who can cooperate. Alfred and I have already confirmed that
it's not possible to work with theo; markus, on the other hand, seems
to just be ignoring us.
   I really think the code fork is necessary because OpenBSD (Theo)
simply will not listen to reason and correct his code. It's fighting
an uphill battle when you have to keep fixing code that someone else
keeps breaking. Yes, we have pointed out specific bugs, and only
gotten flames in return. You can't have collaboration without
communication, and communication with the one who's "in charge" is
pointless.
